AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

The fruit of the agitation against the gob- bling up of land in this country by aliens appears in bill which makes it unlawful for any person or persons not citizens of the United States, or for any alien corporation, to hereafter acquire or hold real estate in this country, except as the same may be acquired by inheritance or in good faith in the ordi- nary course of justice in the collection of debts heretofore created. The bill further prohibits any corporation, other than those organized for the construction of railroads, canals or turnpikes, from holding more than 5000 acres in the territories of the United States, and no such construction company shall hereafter acquire lands except as they may be necessary for the operation of the road or canal, and except as such lands may have been granted by Congress. All property held in violation of this act shall be forfeited to the United States.
 In reporting this bill Senator Plumb re- marked that it was not as thorough as he would like to have it, but it was beginning in the right direction. "It is, he said, Ian af frnation of the principle that the burdens of American citizenship shall go along with it's O6QeQGS, ana that whoever u6S1FeS buo pEOtcC- tion of the American flag, of American insti- tutions and American law in regard to his property, shall assume the burdens of Amer ican citizenship as we'll" There is no doubt that this feeling is a general and growing one, and yet it would perhaps be well not to make the prohibition too sweeping. Some of the people of this country have made good deal of money out of foreigners by selling them ssnines'' which involved the transfer of very small pieces of real estate. The bill seems calculated to put 8 stop to this profit able industry, and thus keep much foreign money out of the country which could be had without exposing us to the danger of exten- sive land holding by aliens.
 But America for Americans is popular cry, and any law that will prevent the ac- quisition of large tracts of land in this coun- try by aliens will be welcomed. Already too much of our territory is owned by foreigners.

Some Fair Criticism.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I observe that the News urges the placing upon file in the free library for the use of the laboring men the paper owned and conducted by Henry George.
 doubt whether the taxpayers of this city would approve of such misappropriation of their money, the sheet in question being de- voted to the publication of erroneous senti- ments and ideas calculated to mislead those of immature mental attainments. Books and papers of hurtful or immoral tendency should certainly be excluded from library supported by those whose interests are at tackled by the absurd and dangerous theories of Henry George, as no benefit can accrue to anyone from their perusal.
 The paper will die ere long of inanitien unless such action as the one above referred to shall be taken to supply the late defeated with funds for it's support. M.

 this theory is complety upset by the figures which show that we sent last year only 3 500

Australia's Great Pest.

The government OF Australia has
offered a reward OF $l25, 900 for the in
veution of q process which will exter.
inmate the rabbits which have become
q pest to the country. The publication
OF this reward has been made not only
in this country but in England and on
the continent The amount indicates
90 what magnitude the evil extends.
Every known means TO exterminats
them has been tried 10 vain-they are
90 prolific that where one Is caught or
killed ten spring up to take Its place.
A large number Of sheep runs have
been destroyed by the raobits, which
grew TO an enormous size, be-
Ing often more than two feet
In length. Their skins are shipped
In large quantities both to England
and this country, and ale much used
In making kid gloves. The supply is
90 large that the skins are sold for al
most nothing, averaging about two
cents each.
In this way the government has
even used poison, but this killed the
birds and animal IN the fields, and its
use was therefore stopped. Traps
were Intellectual. aud but few could be
killed with the gun. The people Of
New south Wales placed q price on
the head Of every rabbit killed, bu,
evan with this incentive those who
shot them were unable to make any
head way against the the pest on ac'
count Of The rapidity with which the
rabbits treed.

The Limited Express Jumps the
Track while Speeding Through

The Train Demolished, but Only
One Man Killed and Another
Seriously Injured.
Jumped the Track.


For a very good reason tn. east
bound fast train was SO many hours
late yesterday. While speeding
through Washington Territory loose
frog or q spread rail caused the engine
and entire train, with the exception OF
the Pullman sleepers, to jump the
track aud there was au almost total
wreck. With the extraordinary good
fortune that has attended the majority
OF wrecks OF passenger trains on the
Northern Pacific road the loss Of life
and serious injuries to passengers was
nominal. Although the train was
running at high rate of speed when
the accident occurred, and there were
. good many passengers aboard, one
life only was sacrificed, and one of the
train men, a brakeman, was some
what iniured-not fatally, however.
The forward cars were literally torn to
pieces, the engine overturned and the
Pullman cars were all of the train re-
naming intact. The man killed was
q poor tramp who rode to his death on
the trucks Of one of the forward cars.
No other particulars were obtainable.
